 You're fighting a psychedelic fur

This is a beast-skin rug that appears to have been infused with a combination of hallucinogens and dark magic. As such, it's all tie-dyed and fractal-tastic, and it's coming at you with a murderous glint in its glass eyes. Still, it's a pretty shade of pink.

Hit Message(s):

It releases a pulse of dark magic, and angels fall like rain. You feel like love is all of heaven away. Argh! Ooh! (spooky damage)

It gives you a spooky look that pulls out the ghost in you. Freaky. Ooh! Eek! (spooky damage)

It gives you a heartbreak beating. It feels like love, but it don't mean a lot. Ooh! Ouch!

Heaven don't tear you apart. Unfortunately, this monster isn't heaven. Ouch! Argh!

Critical Hit Message:

It enfolds you and gives you a perfect kiss, somewhere out in the dark. But a kiss ain't enough to undo the damage to your psyche, unfortunately. Ugh! Ouch! (spooky damage)

Miss Message(s):

It releases a pulse of dark magic, and angels fall like rain. You dodge the angels, and spend a minute chatting with a cute angel.

It tries to erase the ghost in you, but the ghost in you, it don't fade.

It tries to give you a heartbreak beating, but you dance away on the edge of the dark.

Heaven is the whole of the heart, and heaven don't tear you apart. Since the fur just failed to tear you apart, does that make it heaven?

Fumble Message:

It falls to the ground, its dark magics briefly spent. You could loot it, but it doesn't have anything you want to steal -- well, nothing you can touch. (FUMBLE!)
